From the Mind of Marvin Choi

...in all of its Glory...

"Usually, I say my excuse for writing “Rosewood” is that it was for a screenwriting course, but, really, I just wanted an
excuse to write stories about restaurants. Not necessarily the “hilarious” sexual adventures, foul language, and lack of
sanitation that so many people like to focus on, but about the type of people that end up in such places, why they are
there, and how they deal with working such a miserable job day after day. I essentially wanted to write my version of
“Tampopo”, contextually intertwining unusual set-pieces and vignettes to present the craft of professional line cooking
with dignity, grace, and a bit of self-reflexive humor."
